I'm sure that's great advice. My local store has a good deal on a camera with some lenses now, with a 90 return policy, but I have to buy soon. Maybe I'll just buy the nikon 3100 and then if I don't end up thinking I need it, I can always return it in November.

Sigh .....

Lighten up. For some people $500 isn't a big deal. If she wants to buy a DSLR as well as the xz-1 and can afford to do so then all good.
